DELHI
Transit passengers constitute for nearly 20% of total passengers recorded in the country’s largest airport in Delhi, doubling within a period of only three years, and transforming it into an international hub in the likes of airports like Hong Kong, Chicago amongst others.
In the same period between 2011-12 and 2013-14 (estimate), the number of transit passengers in Delhi has nearly increased by over two and a half times and is expected to hit 6.59 million by March end.
Buoyed by Air India’s induction into Star Alliance, which is expected to add scale to the airline’s global flight plans, Delhi airport has targeted that 25-26% of its passengers will come from transit passengers by 2015-16.
